IMPROVEMENT IN PLATES vFOR HARNESS-SADDLES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 108,900, dated November l, 1870; antedated October 22, 1870.

TorctZZ wiz/0m. t muy concern:

Be it known that I, JAMEs H. GARRETT, of Mount Pleasant, in the county of Henry and State of Iowa, have invented certain Improvements in Harness-Pad Plates, of which the following is a specication.

The nature of this invention relates tol harof top of plate, and Fig. 4 is a view of the combination of water-hook and crupper-loop. A is the plate, which is cast malleable iron. D D D D are grooves in the plate for the terret and finishing screw-nuts to fit in, thereby giving a smooth surface on top of plate. c c are the perforated holes for tufng and connecting plate with the under pad, making the pad substantial.

b b in Fig. 4 is a combination of Waterhook and crupper-loop which is designed to prevent the pad from pulling over on its edge.

aais a section of plate, showing groove c, de-4 signed for the combination hook and loop to fit. This groove I form upon the outer'surface of the said plate, so that the under part, or the part that comes in contact with the animals back, will present a smooth surface after being finished in the usual manner, as in other pads it is almost impracticable to furnish them in so neat and easy an manner as mine.

Vhat I claim as my improvement, and desire t0 secure by Letters Patent, is-

v As a new article of manufacture, a harnesspad plate, composed of the plate A, provided with the groove e, for the reception of the Wa-v ter-hook and crupper-loop b b, and the perforation G, all constructed as herein described.
